I had an initial call with the recruiter where we discussed my experience and the next steps.

A week later, I completed a phone screening that included two LeetCode problems. I solved both problems optimally and handled the follow-up questions well.

After two days, I received positive feedback and we scheduled an onsite interview in three weeks to give me time to prepare.

During the onsite, I went through five rounds:

• Three coding interviews
• One system design interview
• One behavioral interview

I received positive feedback for all rounds and was qualified as an SWE IC4, which was my goal.

The team matching process took a total of two months.
